# Where to Work: Configuration Screens
<a name="ready-cf-cg-where"></a>

The procedures in this guide use one of three screens on the Conductor web interface. All work is done from the Conductor web interface; there is never a need to switch to the web interface for a worker.

The three screens are:
+ The Node Configuration screen for a Conductor node.
+ The Node Configuration screen for a worker node.
+ The Conductor Configuration screen for a Conductor node.

These three screens cover slightly different configuration features, and are accessed in slightly different ways. The following tables provides more detail.


****  

| Screen | How to Navigate to this Screen | Purpose of this Screen | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| Node Configuration screen for Conductor | From the Conductor web interface: Nodes > Edit (wrench icon) | Configures the Conductor node as one of several nodes in the cluster. Includes network settings, mount points, and firewall for AWS Elemental Conductor File. | 
| Node Configuration screen for worker | From the Conductor web interface: Nodes > Edit (wrench icon) | Configures the worker node as one of several nodes in the cluster. Include network settings, mount points, and firewall for AWS Elemental Server. | 
| Conductor Configuration screen | From the Conductor web interface: Configuration (cog icon) in the main menu | Configures the Conductor in its special role as the manager of the cluster. Includes failover management, authentication on the cluster, SNMP management, and so on. | 

**Important**  
Take care to go to the correct screen\$1 Do not confuse the Node Configuration screen with the Conductor Configuration screen. 

**Node Configuration Screen**  
This example shows the Node Configuration screen for a Conductor node. The screen for a worker node is nearly identical.
